Remarkable Turnaround: Hammers Bouncing Back With Incredible Form

SHARE:

Prior to impressing with three consecutive league wins, there was some evident turmoil within the confines of West Ham United. But the recent run of form from the Hammers has drastically changed the situation.

Four consecutive wins for the London side in February saw them begin to set their aspirations on looking up, rather than a possible descent to the bottom of the Premier League. Prior to this great run of form, there was plenty of speculation about a possible exit with Sam Allardyce potentially being sacked.
Under one week into the New Year, a message from the joint-chairmen would include the following statement: "Like all West Ham United supporters we feel frustrated and hurt by our recent results. We understand how you feel and we, the Board, feel the same." The message was coming off a shocking FA Cup defeat where West Ham lost 5 - 0 in an away trip to Nottingham Forest.
In that same month, what once seemed like a glimmer of hope, the Capital One Cup semi-final, was crushed by a devastating Manchester City as they romped to the finals over two legs.
Six games from December 21, West Ham United failed to win a single game over three competitions, leaving them in no domestic cups, and now only the Premier League to focus on.
After an aggregate 9 - 0 loss in the League Cup Semi-Final , talk would further increase of Sam Allardyce possibly being sacked. Nonetheless, his credentials seemingly bought his time, as taking a club like West Ham to the League Cup Semi-Finals was a significant achievement.
Prior to their remarkable run of form and four successive wins, West Ham would lie in the relegation zone, eighteenth in the table with nineteen points. It is that which makes their previous run of form all the more significant as they pushed forward to the top half of the league table.
Albeit opponents who were not a prominent threat, their extraordinary four game win streak would be a true sign of their improvements as they won their games by two goals respectively in each.
They are looking at their best now, and really can push for a solid mid-table position in the league. Suddenly, fast forward two months from the turmoil into the New Year, and West Ham United are brimming with positivity in a run of form that has went unmatched. From the bottom of the league, now to the top half, West Ham have turned a corner for the better.
